Bunkley Street, alongside his brothers, Kenneth, and Royce. It was there that he learned hard work, gratefulness, grit and love. Amongst the many good times, life experiences, and lessons learned in Stamford, it was there he met his wife Sandra Ann (Sorrell) West; whom he later shared 63 years of married life with. Don was a natural leader and had a special way of balancing humility with ambition. He served in the National Guard, was a member of the Snyder Chamber of Commerce Gold Coaters, the Lions Club, Colonial Hill Baptist Church, the Masonic Lodge.

In his spare time, he enjoyed golf outings with friends and going to football games to support the Snyder Tigers. He also shared life with a special group of men that he considered his Red Leather Family - using the phrases of "Red Leather" which was answered by "Love you Forever". Those closest to him will always remember the way he lit up a room! He could make everyone laugh one minute with a funny story and the next minute tear up with a heartfelt prayer. Don is proceeded in death by his wife Sandra West, his mom and dad, Ila Belle and Dewey West, brother Royce West, sister-in- laws Janet Sojourner, Shirley West and son-in-law Richard Huddleston.
